Science Popularization Week in May 2018- Invention and Creation Forum

In May 2018, Li Wen Science Education invited a delegation led by National Innovation Teacher Luo to enter schools under the Economic and Technological Development Zone to hold an invention and creation forum. To popularize science, invent and create knowledge for young people, and guide them to depict their dreams of invention.

Luo Fanhua: Author of the textbook "Easy Invention", founder of the National Easy Invention Education. For many years, he has been committed to the research and development of Chinese youth invention and innovation education activities. Currently, he is the director of the China Youth Innovation Education Office and the leader of the "Primary and Secondary School Creativity Research" research group of the Ministry of Education. Deputy Secretary General of the China Smart Engineering Research Association in charge of the Ministry of Education, and Secretary General of the Beijing Zhongnanshan Innovation Public Welfare Foundation

An Yongjun: Secretary General of the Internet Committee of the China Smart Engineering Research Association under the Ministry of Education, Executive Director of the Beijing Zhongnanshan Innovation Public Welfare Foundation, and Secretary General of the Organizing Committee of the National Youth Bingxin Literature Competition

He asked each student to write two product names on the creative design draft. Some students wrote about refrigerators and air conditioners, some wrote about computers and mobile phones, and some wrote about blackboards and podiums. Then he asked the students to add the word "like" between the two product names and read them together. When the students laughed together, Professor Luo continued to inspire them. It felt strange to connect two unrelated products with "like", but could they find a way to perfectly combine these two products? He asked the students to first give the idea a name and then write a functional introduction, The students present quickly drew their own design after actively brainstorming.

Teacher Luo then summarized the methods of invention, asked students to write small stories about creative inventions, and asked them to identify what the inventor's thinking is? Many students have summarized that Mingjia's thinking is to study and see the essence from the surface. Some students say that inventors' thinking is not to let others solve difficulties, but to think for themselves why and then find ways to solve them; Some students say that the thinking of inventors requires innovation, which can be achieved from multiple aspects such as function, structure, and combination.

  Through Teacher Luo's wonderful explanation, students truly feel that invention is not mysterious. Teacher Luo hopes to impart the essence of "easy invention" to students, stimulate their enthusiasm for technological innovation, and enable them to experience the joy of invention and innovation with relaxed and happy new thinking. Finally, Teacher An encouraged the students to prepare well for the International Invention Exhibition.

As early as 2014, the person in charge of Li Wen Science Education made a special trip to Beijing to visit Teacher Luo and made an appointment at the National Grand Theatre. During the break, the two sides had a preliminary communication. For several years, Teacher Luo has praised and encouraged Li Wen at every critical point. This year, Teacher Luo and Teacher An have finally been invited to come to Hefei and teach children the methods of easy invention. We hope that every child can realize their dream of becoming a small inventor, master the thinking methods of easy invention, and appreciate the joy of technological innovation.
